Davehutch-hutchs 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Just looked at my MOT for the bike 25th March , that means I can take it from the 25th February, So I will take it some time then and get a service on her , I will still go out before then if it warms up and the roads are dry, But failing that this is when my 2011 season will start , cant wait and going to top my 3,000 miles from last year And I know that some of you ride all year and are proper bikers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nickerbelly 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Stratford's a good one for me too - mine was off the road for a couple of months while I stripped and checked over the top end, but she's all back up to snuff now and I've been out a few times but it ain't half cold mum!!

Tinhead 0 Posted January 29, 2011 My season never really stops. I could give a lot of bull about being "hardcore" but the truth is the only transport I have is my bikes so I have no choice.However, the first rally of the year for me is the Frozen Nuts next weekend http://www.dmrc.co.uk/index.html Long Johns and 4 season bag at the ready Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh happy days, hope we have a nice long summer this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted January 29, 2011 Is was that hot for me riding all of July and Augus in France that I didn't wear a leather jacket. I just wore a t shirt and mesh jacket and kevlar jeans. Mind you its not that much fun when even the wind is that hot it doesn't cool you down and air called engines are a bitch a lights in that heat!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davehutch-hutchs 0 Posted February 11, 2011 getting excited now , got a bit of work on so thinking of getting my hagon springs then get her in for the service and MOT after the 25th, and get out and get some miles under my belt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suzukijax 0 Posted February 11, 2011 Since 1st Jan i have done 116 miles which is pitiful but hopefully a start to the 5k or more i want to make sure i do this year as i did 4k last so building it up slowly ( or fast depends on who is around ) so bring on the sunshine and lets play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
